Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.”

What a busy, busy person she must be.


Let's try some easy math:


There are approximately 1.2 billion Catholics world wide;

If merely 1% of them  'ask' Mary for help just once each day;

that means that 12 million separate prayers are headed Mary's direction every day.

Given that there are 86,400 seconds per day... (24 hours times 60 minutes times 60 seconds)

...that means that Mary has to handle approximately 139 'requests' per second!

Purty good fer someone NOT 'divine'!

I’m not arguing with you about theology. I was responding to someone that was asking what the Hail Mary is.

Go find someone else to argue with.
